Everyone who isn't part of that scene sees who they are and what's coming.

Follow the boy scout motto.
It is the old quote from old socialist Upton Sinclair:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

Probably the least transparent. At least Bush didn't lie by saying his administration was going to be transparent.

Kerry didn't sign up for the 'transparency' rhetoric.

The peace loving liberals is merely a myth.

Who ordered us into World War 1? President Wilson, a Democrat.
Who ordered us into World War 2? President Roosevelt, a Democrat.
Who ordered us into Korea? President Truman, a Democrat.
Who ordered us into Vietnam? President Kennedy, a Democrat.

The left has developed this narrative of itself as the peace lovers and the conservatives as warmongers. But's no different than their narratives about conservatives being racists, wanting poor people to starve, not caring about the environment, etc. It's just political rhetoric with no basis in reality.

Well Obama made both look like fools sending them out to beat the drums then coming back and saying he hadn't made up his mind. But then Kerry himself has to live with having called our troops in Vietnam a bunch of murders and rapist during the congressional Vietnam hearings. He is Mr. Fonda to most who served.

It works because a large percentage of Democrat voters are low-information voters:

Dont even try. We went to WAR because we were directly ATTACKED. Or are you one of the nutters that think Pearl Harbor was a False Flag operation?

We wanted to stay out of the war because it was a Euro conflict. But since Japan teamed up with the Axis Powers (due to the US Embargos on Imports to Japan and other reasons), Japan attacked us.

Why do you think we didn't enter the war until 2 years after it started?

The U.S. was involved before that...

Disgusting and unacceptable.


Kerry’s claim that he opposed Bush’s invasion of Iraq




kerry opposes????



John Kerry, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq:

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."

Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Addressing the US Senate
October 9, 2002



-----------------------
"It is the duty of any president, in the final analysis, to defend this nation and dispel the security threat. Saddam Hussein has brought military action upon himself by refusing for 12 years to comply with the mandates of the United Nations. The brave and capable men and women of our armed forces and those who are with us will quickly, I know, remove him once and for all as a threat to his neighbors, to the world, and to his own people, and I support their doing so."

Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Statement on eve of military strikes against Iraq
March 17, 2003
-----------------------------

"It appears that with the deadline for exile come and gone, Saddam Hussein has chosen to make military force the ultimate weapons inspections enforcement mechanism. If so, the only exit strategy is victory, this is our common mission and the world's cause."

Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Statement on commencement of military strikes against Iraq
March 20, 2003
---------------------------
"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him."

Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
During a Democratic Primary Debate at the University of South Carolina
May 3, 2003


------------------------------------

"Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have the judgment to be President, or the credibility to be elected President.

No one can doubt or should doubt that we are safer -- and Iraq is better -- because Saddam Hussein is now behind bars."

Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Speech at Drake University in Iowa
December 16, 2003

There have been many, many books written describing such a future.
It will come back and bite them when they support lies and corruption because there will be no barrier to the amount of manipulation this administration will do and they will still support it.. One day it will be too late for the supporters and they will wonder what happened to their freedoms .. to their paychecks and to their power.
